  1. I came across your site while searching for cooked Salmon recipes. Thanks so much for sharing your talents. Your recipes look amazing and I plan on trying many of them. Our son lives in the state of Washington and while visiting him, he gave u 3 pieces of frozen salmon. Yesterday we smoked one of the pieces and could not eat all. Today which will be a perfect day to try Salmon Patties (cakes) which I believe my husband will enjoy. Come fall I hope to try the Smoked Salmon Chowder.
    Again, thank you. I look forward to trying many of your other recipes.
    No need to reply. I am sure you both are very busy.
